Black Powder Epic Battles - American Civil War Guts & Glory Starter Set
In 1861, the Southern States saw Abraham Lincoln’s election to President as a direct threat to their states rights and way of life. The United States was united no more, as the Union split and a new Confederate States of America was formed in the South. Lincoln, determined to preserve the Union and end slavery, raised the Army of the Potomac and throughout the nation. This was the beginning of the American Civil War.
Over the next four terrible long years American armies tramped across American fields and burnt American farms as brother fought brother in a war the likes of which the nation had never seen before.
The Epic Battles - American Civil War system allows for gamers to refight these battles on a huge scale. The game is based on the familiar award-winning Black Powder rules system, with a few period-flavour tweaks to cement the battles in the ideologies of American Civil War doctrines.
